Introduction:

Here are builds of MPlayer and MEncoder for Windows that I had requests for.
My main focus with these builds is on MEncoder stability, since that is what we use for the media server transcoding, so each release is thoroughly tested to transcode and mux from and to many formats.
Specifically, the stability of outputting H.264 via x264 and MPEG-2 with AC-3 and DTS variants inside MPEG-PS, and WMV with WMA inside ASF, as well as handling different DVD and subtitle inputs.
I test each build for several different things before release, and since Universal Media Server also uses these builds there are many testers who report any bugs which I then fix.

mplayer.exe -lavdopts threads=1 dvd://1 -dvd-device “F:\TestClips&Co\DVDs\ElephantsDream\VIDEO_TS” -nosound -vo direct3d -ao nul
works as workaround for mplayer, but sadly I haven’t found one for mencoder

The Mplayer and Mencoder of SB59 cannot play a DVD ISO file in a folder which name including the Asian characters, but the SB41 is OK. For eample, the command
.\mplayer.exe -dvd-device D:\重要数据\视频归档\200504~1\sample.ISO dvd://1
will failed in SB59, run OK in SB41.

The version after SB51 cannot play the DVD ISO file in a folder which name including Asian characters, but the version SB50 is OK. The command is like below
.\mplayer.exe -dvd-device D:\BT下载\sample.ISO dvd://1

Really nice work you’re doing, i really ‘love’ your mplayer versions !
I am developping HamMultiPlayer (http://hammultiplayer.org), a realtime MultiMedias Player Gui using mplayer. My main question is : Do you compile a mplayer 64bits versions ? Will you ? It would be great for me.

Thanks for these, they work in W98, even the latest compile. Whatever you’re doing, it’s good, don’t change it, or it might need ‘fixing’. 🙂 Can you advise me as to why MOUSE_BTN0 can’t be used in any way? It looks like the only mouse button that can be used is MOUSE_BTN2 (right click, and begs the question of what exactly is MOUSE_BTN1!)

It’s been tough to find even simple things liek setting a config to remember volume and a specific audip port, but I managed, mostly trial and error despite many manual readings. The biggest trouble though, is not being able to override inbuilt behaviour even though the manual suggests this is possible for commands and key bindings. I really need to be able to make mouse buttons do what I want…

Would you please explain me the difference between :
(MPlayerMEncoder-SB64-UMS) and (MPlayerMEncoder-SB64) ?
File sizes are different and i only use mplayer, not mencoder… What version to use with a player ?
